USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) is a global leader in advancing humanitarian coordination, information management, and assessments (HCIMA). Effective humanitarian coordination informed by real-time data and robust analyses enables humanitarian actors to comprehensively understand the needs of affected populations and prioritize assistance accordingly in rapidly changing, resource-constrained, and often nonpermissive environments.
Within individual country contexts, USAID/BHA supports humanitarian coordination mechanisms; joint assessments, comprehensive data, and analysis aided by artificial intelligence; and strengthens information management capacity. Globally, USAID/BHA actively engages with other international donors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and UN agencies to contribute to a common humanitarian operating picture and influence global frameworks and policy. USAID/BHA implementing partners provide surge support to address coordination and information management needs and engage in the research and development of new data technologies and tools.
